I was traveling to Europe for the first time. My girlfriend asked me to consider traveling with her and this seemed like the perfect length of time and a wonderful introduction to Europe for me.
Viking took care of our flights and all transfers. Great for the two of us who had never been on a river cruise. Our cabin was small but very comfortable, the bed was very comfy.
The port talks were ...
We were not interested in taking a cruise on a large ship with thousands of people. Neither of us had been to Germany and we saw these river cruises promoted on our local PBS station. The ports of call on this cruise were very interesting, and Viking provided high quality complementary excursions at each stop. We especially enjoyed the Black Forest where we watched a Black Forest cake ...
We chose Viking based on a recommendation from friends. 4 couples, all 60 somethings, were looking for a cruise line we could retire with. We did not find it with Viking. 2 days before we all left North America, we received a note from Viking that the Rhine River was running low and may cause disruptions. Rather than allow us to reschedule the trip, we all made the trip. Viking obviously knew ...
Thank you, Senscret2, for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are delighted to receive your compliments for our onshore program and local guides! Your disappointment with our...
The whole operation of Viking was professional from start to finish. Every person went out of their way to treat you like a VIP. The food was very good, and the rooms were very nice; excursions were well-planned and professionally conducted.
It was our 50th anniversary, and we could not have done better by planning our celebration with a Viking river cruise. We can't wait until our next ...
We chose the Rhine Cruise because of my German roots. Arriving in Amsterdam was an eye opener with all of the bicycles. Our walking tour of the city was alot of fun. Off we went the next day to Kinderdijk to see the windmills. We were lucky enough to get a demonstration. Each stop had a choice of adventures to go on. The gothic churches and buildings are a great history lesson. The simple way of ...
We selected the Rhine Getaway cruise because we liked the itinerary. While the Viking website heading for this cruise states, "Castles and Cathedrals," we visited cathedrals and medieval towns on our land tours but saw castles only one day and that was from the ship as it sailed the Rhine River from one port to another. We had favorite stops: Kinderdijk with its windmills, the Ehrenbreitstein ...
Loved the adventure we experienced. Options to stay on board or enjoy planned excursions, or just set out on your own. We did all of that. In the process we met some wonderful people. I have forgotten the name of the woman who headed up our hospitality, but she was outstanding - always smiling, great English (I think she was Dutch), and a great sense of humor. She had the whole package.
My ...
We chose Vikings Rhine River cruise because sensed it would fulfill many of our desires to
cruise in comfort, to see foreign countries and to feel safe while doing this. Viking fulfilled
our expectations perfectly. From the time we landed in Basel Switzerland until we
departed in Amsterdam, Viking took care of us. Being met at the airport and taken to our hotel
relieved tired ...
I always wanted to take a river cruise, and so I booked us for an end to Covid cruise. Dealing with Viking was easy. Our only problem was trying to get the flight information straightened out. We were on a Delta flight but we were not listed with Delta. After quite a bit of angst, we discovered Delta had put us on an Air France flight. OK. That gave us the needed information, namely what ...
This was a Bucket List item from when working in Cologne for a Month back in 2011. Every Sunday I would go down to the Rhine River and watch all the long ships on the River and fell in love with it.
I said some day I will cruise the Rhine and Danube Rivers.
It was everything I expected it to be. Food excellent, service was outstanding, excursions great and done so professional. The Viking ...
